Calories 295kcal
Ingredients
- 15 oz. can of garbanzo beans
- 15 oz can of cannellini beans
- 15 oz can of red beans
- one medium to large lemon
- 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
- a handful of fresh parsley
- large sprig of fresh sweet basil
- large handful of fresh chives
- black pepper
Instructions
- Open the beans, rinse them, and place them all in a bowl of cold water to soak for 15 minutes. This helps to release the gasses in the beans and helps you to avoid stomach discomfort later.
- While the beans are soaking, wash and chop up your chives, parsley, and sweet basil.
- Zest one half of the lemon into a salad serving bowl. Juice the entire lemon into the bowl. Add the olive oil and whisk until well blended. Drop in the herbs.
- Strain the beans after their soak. Pour them into the salad bowl. And gently stir them into the dressing.
